Core Type Specification

[benStre]

Since we are making good progress with the implementation of the core types (refactorings might still occur), we can slowly start to think about how to formally specify the DATEX core values/types and update the outdated lists in the current spec draft.

Here's the list of core types as far as I am aware of... thoughts? anything that we need to add?

• text "xyz text"
• integer 42
• decimal 12.34
• quantity 12m/s

Composites

• Array [1,2,"xy"]
• Struct {x: "123", y: true}
• List (1,2,3,4,"lol")
• Map (xy: 123, (100): 'number', (true): false)
• Set Set (1,2,3,4,'xy')
• Function function xy(a: integer) (...)
• Process function xy(a: integer) (...)
• Task run (...)
• Stream x << y, Stream(...)

Special types

• type (e.g. type(1|2)
• unknown
• never?
